All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
The Group of 7 nations agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude from strategic stockpiles over four months to ease record-high prices. This decision comes amid threats by President Trump to impose a ban on U.S. diesel exports.
Crude oil supplies from the Strait of Hormuz have returned to prewar levels, but refined products like gasoline and diesel remain scarce. This shortfall, exacerbated by strikes on Russian refineries and Chinese export bans, means little relief for consumers despite the U.S. naval blockade's success.
